January 2008 PERSONAL: I like reading at Starbucks and shopping of all kinds. FITNESS: I love yoga, dancing and walking. FOOD: I never met a donut I didn't like and therin lies the problem. I'm making fruits into my new "sweets" . Yay me! BACKGROUND: Two years ago I was in training to be a Yoga Teacher and had a lovely daily practice in addition to all of the classes both taken and taught at the studio. Then I took a new job that I allowed to overhaul my life/personality/weight/me. That job is gone and I'm 30 pounds heavier (I was so close to my goal - what a slippery slope). I have fallen out of practice and have been trying very hard to build up to a daily practice again. January 2009 Update: I made progress towards my goal, got laid off, gained some weight, got lazy for awhile then got back on track again. I'm going to Florida in March so that's a good motivator for the first part of the year...wish me luck!

January 2010 Update: Not much progress for overall weight loss... I keep yo-yo'ing BUT the fitness progress can't be beat. I completed a triathlon in July 09; 3 days after my 40th birthday. Hoping the scale registers lower this year and STAYS there. (Stupid evil dounuts!) Oh... still no job.

saw a comment you made, and just had to stop by and say i LOVE your profile picture. i cant imagine a better fitspiration than sarah connor. heres to hoping i will one day be ripped enough to break out of a maximum-security psych ward.
